Our Journey
Our story began in 2017 with a vision to connect guests with exceptional vacation properties while supporting local businesses. As an Airbnb host for over 9 years, founder Shanel saw the need for a one-stop solution that makes every getaway in the Shuswap seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
Seasonal Escapes is more than a property management company—it’s your gateway to the full Shuswap experience, all year long. From helping guests find the perfect vacation rental to sharing curated travel guides on the best places to shop, dine, and explore, we’re here to make every visit truly memorable. Whether you're soaking up the sunshine on a summer lake retreat, taking in the stunning fall foliage, embracing a cozy winter escape, or watching spring bloom across the region—Seasonal Escapes has you covered.
At Seasonal Escapes, we’re more than hosts—we’re ambassadors of the Shuswap lifestyle, passionate about making every stay as unforgettable as the destination itself.

Leadership with Heart: Meet Our Founder
Shanel
“Nine years ago, I opened the door to my first guests and discovered my passion for hosting. What began as preparing a space quickly became something deeper — creating a home away from home where people could settle in, feel welcomed, and make lasting memories. With a deep love for the Shuswap area, I founded Seasonal Escapes to bring this experience to more people — and now, alongside a passionate team, we continue building unique escapes for both guests and property owners alike.”

I work behind the scenes on everything from digital design to systems and organization, helping to attract guests to our properties and bring our brand to life. Supporting someone I enjoy working with, promoting a place I love, and doing work that lets me be creative is the perfect combination — and I’m grateful to be part of it."
